Detroit Tigers game score vs. Atlanta Braves in spring training: Time, TV The Detroit Tigers visit the Atlanta Braves in Grapefruit League play at 1:05 p.m. Saturday at CoolToday Park in North Port, Florida.
Victor Vodnik - Heads back to minors camp Vodnik was reassigned to minor-league camp Friday by Atlanta.
Impact Vodnik's removal brings the Atlanta camp roster down to 52 total players. The 23-year-old is one of the best relief prospects in the team's system, and he posted a 2.34 ERA over 31 appearances with Double-A Mississippi and Triple-A Gwinnett in 2022. There's a very good chance he makes his big-league debut in 2023.

Max Fried - Blanks Team Puerto Rico Fried gave up two hits over four scoreless innings while striking out five in Thursday's exhibition game against Team Puerto Rico.
Impact Facing a lineup that featured Francisco Lindor in the leadoff spot and big-league bats throughout the lineup, Fried carved up the opposition without much trouble. Including two Grapefruit League starts, the southpaw has yet to allow a run over nine innings with a composite 14:2 K:BB this spring, and he appears to be just about ready for Opening day.

Sam Hilliard - Swats first spring homer Hilliard went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's split-squad game against the Blue Jays.
Impact The long ball didn't come until the seventh inning, but the 29-year-old took Erik Swanson deep to right-center field for his first spring homer. Hilliard failed to make much impact over four seasons with Colorado, but he appears likely to begin 2023 in a bench role for Atlanta.

Spencer Strider - Fans five Blue Jays Strider gave up a run on three hits over 3.1 innings while striking out five during Thursday's split-squad game against the Blue Jays.
Impact The right-hander fired 42 of 57 pitches for strikes in his third appearance of the spring. Strider has a 9:2 K:BB through 8.1 innings in Grapefruit League action, and after a dazzling rookie campaign that saw him fan 202 batters in only 131.2 frames for a 38.3 percent strikeout rate, Atlanta is counting on the 24-year-old to emerge as a true ace in 2023.

Darius Vines - Sent packing to Triple-A Vines was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Friday.
Impact Vines has impressed this spring and is one of the team's better pitching prospects, but he'll head to Gwinnett for a little more seasoning. A major-league debut in 2023 is certainly a possibility for the 24-year-old right-hander should a need arise.
MARCH 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Roddery Munoz - Sent to Triple-A Munoz was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Friday.
Impact Munoz has tossed two scoreless innings this spring, but he's in need of more seasoning. The 22-year-old collected a 4.66 ERA between High-A Rome and Double-A Mississippi last season.
MARCH 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Seth Elledge - Optioned to Triple-A Elledge was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Friday.
Impact Elledge was added to the 40-man roster this offseason but had always seemed like a good bet to start the season in the minors. The 26-year-old has a 4.63 ERA over 23 relief appearances at the major-league level.

Kolby Allard - Will begin season on injured list Allard suffered a Grade 2 right oblique strain Thursday and will begin the season on the injured list, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Allard had been off to a strong start this spring, allowing just one earned run through five innings while striking out four batters. He was traded from Texas to Atlanta over the offseason and will likely begin the year in Triple-A Gwinnett once he's healthy.
